NC Lt. Gov. Robinson Declares That 'Christian Patriots' Will 'Own This Nation and Rule This Nation'

[Soph0571]

Robinson began his speech by thanking God and declaring that anyone who doesn’t agree that the United States is a Christian nation is free to go live somewhere else.

“You can leave God’s country, and we will not miss you,” Robinson said.

Later, Robinson told the crowd that they are God’s regiment on Earth and “the living embodiment” of all those who have sacrificed their lives in defense of this nation.

“Tell our enemies on the other side of the aisle that will drag this nation down into a socialist hellhole that you will only do it as you run past me laying on the ground, choking on my own blood because I will not give up this nation to you!” Robinson bellowed. “It is not yours. You did not build it, you did not defend it, and you will not own it. We will. The Christian patriots of this nation will own this nation and rule this nation and help freedom survive for future generations.”

[Duncanpup]

1. Talibangelist

[malaise]

2. Bet his ancestors said the same re the Confederates

Fuck him!

[moose65]

7. Robinson is Black

So it’s a good bet his ancestors didn’t exactly support the Confederacy. 😳

[malaise]

11. LOL

Still a moron

[obamanut2012]

13. Some of them did

The rapists did.

[soldierant]

18. Well, at least not all of them. I wouldn't be surprised if there were one or two who did.

[Celerity]

42. There were black slave owners and there were black Confederate soldiers nt

[C_U_L8R]

3. This shrinking demographic realizes it can't win elections anymore.

And resorts to threats instead of actually winning over new voters. The very definition of loser.

[multigraincracker]

4. Got it, this is a Christian Nation.

All that is left is to decide which Christian denomination it is. Let the Hundred Year Wars begin.

[Evolve Dammit]

20. Good point. Baptists vs. all others? Who will be the most xtian? Such stupidity. n/t

[multigraincracker]

22. The most members belong to the

Roman Catholic Church. Using their logic, this is a Catholic Nation, One Nation under the Pope.

[Evolve Dammit]

23. right. That's who the KKK really has always hated, right? I'm a UU when I go, so I'm dead.

[onlyadream]

24. But they hate the Pope. Nt

[Walleye]

5. This is an American, who thinks that more than half of his fellow Americans are his enemies.

So they they think they need to carry guns. That “choking on his own blood” image shows just what a sick fuck he is. Do they all have these kind of fantasies?

[obamanut2012]

14. They would also enslave him within a month

He's black.

[Walleye]

17. There is some kind of sickness in this land

[Evolve Dammit]

21. quite incredible what we are witnessing. A true death cult is in the US.

[Walleye]

25. And it is immense. I knew there were crazies, but there's tens of millions of them

[Evolve Dammit]

28. yeah. Insanity is here. See it every day in public and on the roads

[Walleye]

30. Especially on the roads. I am much more scared of being killed on the highway then being mugged.

[jmowreader]

57. But only for seven years at a time

According to the Bible slavery is okay if you free them after seven years. Naturally, it doesn’t say someone else can’t re-enslave your old slaves.

[Solly Mack]

6. Sounds like Robinson masturbates to "Braveheart".

[Red Mountain]

8. another opportunist

GOP is positively oozing them these days.

[PatSeg]

35. Yes, desperate opportunism

They will do or say anything for political power.

[pwb]

9. Rule?

What is he starting up a crusade? What a Fucking freak.

[czarjak]

10. White Horse Prophecy says otherwise.

[Pepsidog]

12. Bin Laden, Robinson same guy, same objectives destroy America.

[Martin Eden]

15. You say you're a Christian? Then start acting like one.

Stop comforting the rich while disparaging the poor.

Care for the sick. Welcome the stranger.

Stop telling lies and inciting violence

Jesus would weep if he saw what you and your ilk are proclaiming in His name. If there is a God and afterlife, you're going straight to hell.

[RVN VET71]

16. Because only "christians" died defending America?

No atheists? Agnostics? Jews? Native Americans? Muslims? Only christians?

His hatred and sickeningly ignorant intolerance would assure him a place in the Lake of Fire. . . if only.

And what of the 250,000 good white christians who died in a failed effort to keep him and his in chains, working for free as slaves “owned” by a rich white rapist?

[Walleye]

36. Sounds like he's never even been to Arlington cemetery

[paleotn]

19. Yes, they are scary, in an Old Testament kind of way...

Read the books of the law, the first 5 of the bible. That's what they're advocating, though many don't have a clue what it really means. So much death and suffering for figments of their over active imaginations.

Robinson doesn't really believe all that crap. He's an opportunist who'd sell his mother for a percentage.

Those who go on and on about "fighting and dying, bleeding, their last breath, from their cold, dead hand, ad nauseam, are invariably the first to piss their pants when things actually get hot. They generally make really crappy soldiers.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

26. Theocracy is not freedom. The mouth-breathers know how to mouth words they don't understand. nt

[Botany]

27. Thomas Jefferson, "wall of separation between church and state."

In 1802 Thomas Jefferson penned a letter to the Danbury, Connecticut, Baptist Association in which he described the First Amendment as erecting a "wall of separation between church and state."

[marble falls]

29. An then thousands of different niche "Christian" militias will start wiping each other out ...

[Lonestarblue]

31. We have several Christian Nationalist groups that want to rule the US.

Opus Dei and the Dominionists come to mind. There was an article in the NYT some months ago about Josh Hawley and his Christian nationalist beliefs. They have a lot of money behind them through organizations like the Federalist Society. The scary part is that we also have a Supreme Court majority that believes in Christian domination and privilege. If there’s a way, they may twist their originalist crap into saying the First Amendment does authorize the US as a Christian nation with laws derived from the Bible because most of the Founders followed some form of Christianity. They are already privileging the Christian religion by giving them the right to ignore federal laws on discrimination against LGBTQ. Giving a corporation the right of Christian belief (Hobby Lobby), allowing it to deny only its female workers of their right to birth control through the same insurance that men have was also privileging an entity that exists only on paper. By not separating the corporate form of organization from the beliefs of those holding the stock of that corporation, the Court essentially gave corporations the right to opt out of federal law just by claiming religious beliefs.

And they’re poised to enact the Christian belief that life begins at conception and abortion must be illegal in all situations by overturning Roe. These people will not stop until we have a race war on top of a religious war.

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

32. A fascist hell on earth similar to Nazi Germany,

and the countries the Nazis occupied?

That's not freedom.

[barbtries]

33. he sounds insane.

seriously unwell.
i'm in this state. The governor is a Democrat. If the republicans had not so effectively gerrymandered NC, the lieutenant governor might have been as well.

fucking republicans.

[Champp]

34. The friggen Pilgrims were fleeing Xtian hate and control when they crossed the sea

Whenever fake "Christians" get power, the hate and persecution of others intensifies.

The so-called Christians of the Pilgrim era were hypocrital wankers, too, just like today's Republican "Christians" who pay no heed whatsoever to the example of Christ, and instead are in the embrace of Dark Powers.

The Pilgrims knew that if they really wanted freedom, they had to escape the "republicans" who were persecuting them for not embracing the "right kind of Christianity" as defined by the power thugs of their era.

So Republican bullshit ChristoFascist wankers can just sit down, shut up, and leave Americans alone.

[plimsoll]

47. Well, the Pilgrims were mostly in Holland.

They were fleeing becoming Dutch. That's the Plymouth Colony. The Puritans (Massachusetts Bay Colony) were fleeing a unified state and church that had vowed to force non-conformists from the land, but wouldn't allow them to leave. They weren't much better themselves after they arrived, but that's another story.

[Champp]

53. Many Pilgrims fled to Holland from England

if I am remembering accurately. And they fled because the Fake "Christians" of their day (now called Republicans) were dumping all over them.

Then they all jumped aboard the Mayflower for a Sea Cruise -- trying to leave the phoney, hate-filled fake "christians" of their era.

[plimsoll]

56. That's correct, but they had religious liberty in Holland.

They fled Holland (Leyden specifically) because their kids were becoming Dutch. In the New World the other English colonists referred to the Plymouth residents as "mongrel Dutch" because they could speak with the people in New Amsterdam. It's messy, and rarely as clean as it's presented.

[jmowreader]

58. Not quite

The Pilgrims were religious extremists who got kicked out of every other country in Europe, so they moved here.

[DownriverDem]

37. It will if

we don't get out and vote for the Midterms of 2022. I fear some folks don't see the seriousness of it all.

[PatrickforB]

38. Enemies on the other side of the aisle...

This really is a fucking civil war.

[Pinback]

39. Let us know when you've got the redacted version

of the Sermon on the Mount ready.

[Botany]

52. These people live in a make believe world.

[Autumn]

40. It sucks that there are so few lions in our country.

[Ford_Prefect]

41. American Taliban strikes again!!!

[Rebl2]

43. He seems

to have forgotten the First amendment of the constitution. It says there will be no establishment of a specific religion and we are free to practice whatever religion we choose.

[Jon King]

44. Somebody forgot to tell the kids.

Talk about a losing strategy, the young are increasingly non religious. Not much long term future in the angry white religious fanatic demographics.

[DinahMoeHum]

45. (sigh!) He's just another Uncle Tom fuckhead.

[dalton99a]

46. NEXT: "There is no racism in America, and slavery was good"

[Celerity]

48. fuck this Uncle Ruckus wannabe POS

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncle_Ruckus

Uncle Ruckus (born July 4, 1939) (also known as Reverend Father Uncle Ruckus, No Relation) is a fictional character and main antagonist of the American animated sitcom The Boondocks.

Ruckus prattles white supremacist rhetoric and calls Michael Jackson (who suffered from the pigmentational skin changing disorder vitiligo) a "lucky bastard" as he doesn't look black. Ruckus claims that he himself has "re-vitiligo", to explain his own skin tone. Ruckus applies a homemade topical ointment of "bleach and sulphur" in order to treat his self-diagnosed condition, stating that he "likes to think it works" and that it has preventing him from "getting any darker these past few years."

According to a flashback, in his early 20s (20 years old in 1959) he protested against Martin Luther King Jr.'s marches during the civil rights movement and would occasionally throw bricks at King. Another flashback scene shows Ruckus serving on a Tennessee jury in 1957 (making him a minimum of 70 years old in 2009, although this flashback is not consistent with the show's continuity) that helped convict a blind black man of killing three white girls. In spite of being blind, the African American man supposedly shot the three with a Winchester rifle from about 50 yards away. Ruckus is the only black person on the otherwise all-white jury in a Jim Crow courtroom.

49. Jesus: My kingdom is not of this world.

John 18:35-37

36Jesus said, “My kingdom does not belong to this world; if my kingdom belonged to this world, my followers would fight to keep me from being handed over to the Jewish authorities. No, my kingdom does not belong here!”

37So Pilate asked him, “Are you a king, then?”

Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. I was born and came into the world for this one purpose, to speak about the truth. Whoever belongs to the truth listens to me.”

[plimsoll]

50. This guys is coming late to the party.

Here in so-called liberal Washington we have a huge swath of the state that could more rightly be called Western Idaho at this point.

It is from this land of cosplay rugged independence that we get treasures like Matt Shea, who is literally the first hit when you search "crazy republican theocrat eastern washington." At one point there was a recording of him saying they should force the conversion of all men to their cult or kill them. When asked about it he said it was just a thought experiment. It was at that point that I decided that "Christians" and GOPpers who wouldn't denounce that kind of thought experiment had already joined the cult. If you are not willing to stand against killing your neighbors who hold different beliefs, you're just waiting for your brown shirt.

Incidentally, they hold sectarian positions. If they wind up on top, I think a lot of people will be surprised to find out they're no longer considered Christian(tm).

51. What will they say/do when it is not their version of Christianity in charge?

Madison also made a point that any believer of any religion should understand: that the government sanction of a religion was, in essence, a threat to religion. "Who does not see," he wrote, "that the same authority which can establish Christianity, in exclusion of all other Religions, may establish with the same ease any particular sect of Christians, in exclusion of all other Sects?" Madison was writing from his memory of Baptist ministers being arrested in his native Virginia.

[themaguffin]

54. GRIFTER. None of these clowns are Christian. None of them.

[marie999]

55. All non White "Christians" should be well armed. "Christians" means they don't follow Jesus.

Starting with the greatest amount and working down my family is Jewish, Iranian, Eastern European, Babtist, Cherokee, West African, and Neanderthal.
